Jane Addams Elementary School

About this Grantee

With the goal of improving student
achievement, the educators at Addams Elementary School organize a
professional learning community to develop consistency in instructional
language and assessment procedures. Teachers learn to implement
research-proven reading/writing workshop models, discuss professional
literature, and form a consensus on language and methods of instruction
appropriate for each grade and student. To share their learning, the
study group posts their activities and successes on the school
district’s website and in the local newspaper.
